Kikaku Joyu: Japanese porn’s unsung heroines
We all know and love the likes of Maria Ozawa.
But something like 95% of Japanese porn is populated not by stars but by so-called kikaku joyu, or “project actresses” — these are the unsung heroines of an industry that products 20,000 titles a year.
In the same way that American porn has anonymous fluffers doing much of the dog’s work, the kikaku joyu provide the meat for all the incredible JAV porn films that involve sometimes dozens or even hundreds of actresses. They will play the “regular girl” roles — OL, nurse, student etc.
They are typically scouted on the streets or recruited from the ranks of hostesses, but get no PR for their work and their names may not even be listed.
Their salaries are low and they may appear in only one title.
In 2010, there was even a movie made about them, The Girls With No Name.
You all-too-little-known kikaku joyu, we salute you!
